Written near Corinth. Confederate Major General Cheatham, commander of the 2nd Division, lst Corps, Army of the Mississippi, thanks Keeler for a box of vegetables he sent, delivered by Mr. Moore. Writes "I assure you I relished the dinner you afforded me more than anything I have eaten for a long time- and fear you will spoil my appetite for the usual soldiers fare of meat & bread."
